Blessed are those who live outside the material sphere, who surrender completely to God and serve Him with love and devotion, for they will emerge from forgetfulness and see the Supreme Lord face to face for eternity.

We are all spirit souls incarnated in a human body due to our disobedience to God. It is the material body in which we are incarnated that causes us to forget God, our true spiritual identity, and thus plunges us into perpetual suffering and perdition.

In the conditioned state, incarnated beings belonging to the marginal energy are a combination of material and spiritual energy. Marginal energy is originally under the control of spiritual energy, but under the influence of material energy, incarnate fallen souls have been wandering in oblivion within the material world since time immemorial.

Are those who enter the spiritual world welcomed?

Yes, those who arrive in the spiritual world are greeted with shouts of joy.

Those who obey Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who follow His instructions, who do His will, who surrender to Him and serve Him with love and devotion, will very quickly attain their original, spiritual state, and as spiritual beings, they will return to the Lord to listen to Him play His marvelous flute. They will be attracted and fascinated by the sublime spiritual sound vibrations emanating from it, but also to play, dance, and eat with Him. And upon their arrival in Krishna's kingdom, they will be greeted by shouts of joy from all the pure beings who live there. An ineffable happiness will overwhelm them.

Where do sense energy, mental power, physical strength, and the source of all life force come from?

Sense energy, mental power, physical strength, and the very source of all life force, proceed from the ethereal spaces contained in the spiritual and absolute body of Maha-Visnu, the plenary emanation of Krishna, God, the Supreme Person.

Where are the hellish planets located?

All the hellish planets are located in the space between the three worlds [the upper region composed of heavenly planets, the intermediate region composed of terrestrial planets, and the lower region or hell, composed of hellish planets] of the Garbhodaka Ocean.

They are located in the southern part of the galaxy, below the intermediate terrestrial planetary system, and slightly above the waters of the Garbhodaka Ocean.

The seven lower planetary systems are located beneath the one we inhabit; the lowest of all is called Patalaloka. Below Patalaloka are other planets known as hellish planets, or Narakaloka. This area is also called “hell.” Whoever falls into hell never comes out again.
